Equipment

  • Frying pan or deep fryer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Fork or Potato Masher:
  • slotted spoon
  • Paper towels

Ingredients
  

For the Plantain Chips:

  • 2 green unripe plantains
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Salt to taste

For the Guacamole Dip:

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 small tomato finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño seeds removed and finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

For the Plantain Chips:

  • Peel the plantains and slice them diagonally into thin pieces, approximately 1/8-inch thick.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan or deep fryer until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  • Carefully add the plantain slices to the hot oil in batches, ensuring they don't overlap.
  • Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-4 minutes per side.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.

For the Guacamole Dip:

  • Cut the avocados in half, remove the seed, and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.
  • Use a fork or potato masher to mash the avocado until mostly smooth with some chunks remaining.
  • Add in the chopped tomato, red onion, jalapeño (if using), and fresh cilantro.
  • Pour in the lime juice, and mix everything until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • For a spicier guacamole, keep some jalapeño seeds in or add a dash of hot sauce.
  • The guacamole can be stored in the refrigerator with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent browning for up to 2 days. Stir before serving.
  • Plantain chips are best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
